But how do I know if you think whether I can sing or not? Deft told me once that I can sing, and I am very inclined to think so myself - but self-confidence was never a skill of mine, so there you go. If you'd like to test me or something, go ahead.

I didn't really care a lot about music when I was younger. I liked soundtrack stuff - like Joe Hisaishi's soundtracks for the Ghibli movies; also eletronic music like Enigma and Aria and world music like Deep Forest, so basically, ambient stuff.

It all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. More precisely, at 16, when I met my then-girlfriend. I don't know if my music preferences just revealed themselves at the time, or I assimilated her music taste - but I got into progmetal and metal, e.g. Devin Townsend, Darkseed. Could never, ever like any Japanese pop or rock though. Eughh.

From there on my taste just sort of went in all directions, slightly mainstream. Rock, pop, pop synth... Muse, Beatles, Pink Floyd.

Over the time I also discovered quite a few rather obscure bands, like Johnny Hollow and Dr. Steel, or lately Cloudkicker (thanks r/progmetal!)
